I will forever remember THE REAL ANITA HILL article by David Brock. Made me loathe the media and Dems even more than I had before. And when he turned gay and renounced the article, I knew it was just an attempt to get with the (so-called) IN CROWD.

While I loved THE AMERICAN SPECTATOR, I never really liked Bob Tyrrell and always thought of him as a poor man's William F. Buckley, another man associated with a great mag: NATIONAL REVIEW. Thankfully, NR still exists, though I don't think it has ever really made a dime either.

Or perhaps, wannabe Mencken?

I'm sure you're right about Brock, but the intriguing aspect of your observation, is the apparent affinity between him and Tyrell -- the obsession with going from outsider to insider.
